MANIFESTO

I’m a digital and social art director, specialising in niches such as social media, digital design, motion graphics, and animation. From having a Loerie under my belt to achieving my first Sundance premiere, I believe it’s safe to say that I love everything from creative direction to humble bragging. It all started with five fan accounts I ran during my teen years, all amounting to over 20,000 followers on Instagram. Since then, I have building myself a TikTok following, growing to a humble 13,000 followers. I also graduated from Vega with a BA degree in Digital Design, followed by a PGDip Management in Marketing at UCT. 

I love all things bright, texturised, and ‘messy’. My one friend once said he loves how ‘dirty’ my work can look. I desire my work to be loud, memorable, and reflective of my personal nature. My writing is centred around humour and satire. Finally, I hold one of my core values – integrity – close to my heart, and I strive to ensure that all realms of my creative executions and projects are honest, respectable, and impactful. 

Just trying to impress my moody 13-year-old self.
